"Oh I am.....and I'm an artist want to be too.  I bought a card yesterday -- your message inspired me.  ...I'm going to go to Quirk and check it out.  I just love your fun style.  I've been a collector of Nancy Thomas artwork for a long time (not originals -- I wish) and I also love Annora Spence.  ...One year we were in London and my husband bought me a really big lithograph that she hand colored.  Your work reminds me of Annora!  Even better!  It just makes you feel so good.  I love 5807!  I made a big fuss over your paintings yesterday and everyone came over.  You are my inspiration!"
